Subvert

Spain Rodriguez’s Subvert, published by Rip Off Press in 1970–1972, was a brief but potent two-issue series that showcased the artist’s signature blend of raw, politically charged storytelling. Known for his underground comix work, Rodriguez centered the series on his iconic character Trashman, a revolutionary figure navigating a dystopian America. Though short-lived, Subvert stands as a vital artifact of the early-’70s underground scene, capturing the era’s countercultural fury through Rodriguez’s unflinching, visceral art.
